Biogas – A Renewable and Sustainable Energy Source

Biogas is rapidly becoming a preferred renewable energy source, especially because it is derived from organic waste. This purified form of fermentation gas, also known as digester gas, is produced from a variety of raw materials, including plant, vegetable, and animal waste.

Biogas plants, operated by farmers, municipalities, and energy companies, recycle organic waste to generate digester gases, which are then used to produce electricity. Additionally, old or active landfills emit digester gases that can also be captured and utilized for power generation, making biogas a truly sustainable energy solution.

Hydrogen Sulphide Removal – Protecting Your Equipment

One of the most critical steps in biogas production is the removal of hydrogen sulphide (H₂S), a highly toxic and corrosive gas commonly found in digester gases. If left untreated, H₂S can cause significant damage to engines and catalytic converters used for electricity generation, leading to increased maintenance costs and reduced efficiency.

CarbonFresh activated carbon is highly effective in removing H₂S. Our impregnated activated carbon reacts with hydrogen sulphide, converting it into elemental sulphur, which adheres to the carbon’s surface. This process ensures the safe and efficient operation of your biogas plant.

In some cases, hydrocarbons present in the digester gases can interfere with the performance of impregnated activated carbon. To address this, we recommend using non-impregnated activated carbon in a pre-treatment stage. This combined approach ensures the removal of all pollutants, maximizing the efficiency and lifespan of your filtration system.

Biogas Upgrading – Meeting Natural Gas Standards

Biogas plants not only produce electricity but can also generate purified biogas for injection into natural gas grids. However, to meet grid standards, biogas must have minimal CO₂ content, as excess CO₂ reduces its calorific value.

CarbonFresh offers advanced carbon molecular sieves, developed in Essen, to efficiently remove unwanted CO₂ from biogas. This ensures the biogas meets the required quality standards for natural gas networks, enabling you to maximize the value of your biogas production.
